How to Operate the Scooter
Important: Read all instructions in this section before
using the scooter.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
The scooter’s sealed lead-acid batteries should be
charged and stored at temperatures between 50°F and
100°F (10°C and 38°C). If the temperature is warmer,
the batteries will discharge more rapidly. If the tempera-
ture is cooler, the scooter should be moved to a warmer
area while the batteries are being charged. Follow the
steps below to charge the batteries.
1. Make sure the on/off key has been removed before
recharging the battery. Important: If the motor is
operated while the batteries are being charged, the
battery charger will be damaged and the scooter
may also be damaged.
2. Locate the charging socket. Identify the cord on the
battery charger that fits into the charging socket and
plug the cord into the charging socket. Plug the other
cord on the battery charger into a 110-volt outlet. A
red light on the battery charger will illuminate.
3. Allow the batteries to charge until the red light on the
battery charger changes to green; the green light indi-
cates that the battery is full. After the batteries are
charged, unplug the battery charger from the 110-volt
outlet first and then unplug the battery charger from
the charging socket on the scooter.
For maximum battery life, avoid leaving the on/off key
in the ON position when the scooter is not in use. Avoid
draining the batteries. It is recommended that the batter-
ies be charged after each use. The batteries should be
charged at least once each month, even if the scooter is
not used.
If the batteries need to be replaced, refer to HOW TO
ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS on page 11. Recycle
batteries according to federal and state laws.
STORING THE BATTERY CHARGER
The battery
charger can be
stored on top
of the batteries
inside the bat-
tery compart-
ment. To store
the battery
charger, unlock
and open the
battery cover, and place the charger on top of the batteries.
Close and lock the battery cover.
USING THE ON/OFF KEY
The on/off
switch on the
upright is the
main power
switch.
Inserting the
on/off key and
turning it to
either the
“ON” or the
“R” position will turn on the power and light the power
display. Each light in the power display represents 20%
of the batteries’ full charge. If all five lights are lit, the
batteries are fully charged; if 4 lights are lit, the batteries
currently hold 80% of their full charge, and so forth.
Turning the key to the “OFF” position will turn off the
power. Always turn the key to the “OFF” position and
remove it when the scooter is not in use.

OPERATING THE SCOOTER
To use the scooter, first hold the handlebars securely,
step onto the deck, and sit down onto the seat. Next, turn
the on/off key to the restricted speed (“R”) position or to
the “ON” position. Note: If the restricted speed setting is
selected, the scooter will be restricted from reaching full
speed. Always use the restricted speed setting when
riding the scooter indoors or when riding the scooter
in reverse.
The scooter
can then be
started with
the handgrip
throttle on the
right handle-
bar. To start
the scooter,
securely grip
the handgrip
throttle and slowly roll it backward (counterclockwise).
The scooter will immediately begin to move. Move
your hand to roll the throttle slowly forward or backward
until the scooter moves at the desired speed.
Pull the brake
handle on the
left handlebar
to slow the
scooter quick-
ly. When the
handgrip
throttle is
released or the
brakes are
used, the
motor will stop. Important: Avoid frequently starting
and stopping the motor; frequent starting reduces the
batteries’ charge and may diminish battery life. Do
not repeatedly roll and release the handgrip throttle
in an attempt to move the scooter at a slower speed;
doing this may damage the motor.
Using the direction switch on the right handlebar (see the
photograph at the left), the scooter can be made to drive
backward as well as forward. Press the top of the switch,
marked “R,” to drive the scooter in reverse. When the
switch is set to reverse, a red light in the switch will be
lit. Adjust the speed with the throttle and brake as
described above. To drive the scooter forward, press the
bottom of the switch, marked “F.”
The left handlebar has several controls and a rear-view
mirror for your convenience and safety while riding the
scooter. (See the photograph at the lower left.) Use the
turn signal switch and horn button to signal your inten-
tions to others. The front light switch allows you to turn
on the front light in darkened conditions or when visibili-
ty is poor. Adjust the mirror to allow for a clear view of
what lies behind you.
Use the scooter only on paved, smooth, level surfaces.
Avoid using the scooter on grades steeper than 5% for
extended periods. Important: Avoid starting the motor
on an upward slope; starting the motor uphill strains
the motor and may diminish battery life.
The scooter is rated for use on a hard, level surface with
a surrounding temperature of 50°F and a maximum user
weight of 300 pounds; the batteries’ charge will be used
faster by heavier riders. With the batteries fully charged,
the scooter can travel up to 12 miles under optimal con-
ditions. Important: Make sure the tires are inflated to
the pressure listed on the sides of the tires; underin-
flated tires will strain the motor and batteries.
SELECTING A TONE FOR THE HORN
The horn on
the handlebars
can produce
eight different
tones. Turn the
indicated
selector knob
to select the
desired tone.
ADJUSTING THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars can be adjusted for a closer grip. Refer to
assembly step 2 on page 4 and attach the handlebars at
the inner holes, rather than at the outer holes.

CAUTION:Use the scooter only in
the restricted speed setting until you have famil-
iarized yourself with the scooter’s operation; the
scooter is capable of high speeds even when the
motor is first started. Adjust the speed in small
increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
